Period.

They were identical and could be used with any convergence coil. I sometimes had to swap magnets when they became weak and not give the range on 1 gun but would on another. I believe the wires going to each of the 3 coil assemblies were color coded.

25" sets had the 3 separate color coded plastic encased coils with magnet that when assembled was the convergence assembly.

I don't remember any 21" tubes using the encased assembly but I guess it is possible.
Only the plastic housing is color coded. Yes, the magnets and coils are interchangeable, but the cloverleaf (Plastic housing that holds the coils and magnets) had two colors - an off-white one, where all three were the same color, and an RGB one like the pic below.

What color is your NOS cloverleaf, Reeferman? White, or RGB?
